Finance Resumes Written by a Recruiter

Finance Resumes – Written for Senior-Level Through Managers, Directors, Vice Presidents, and C-Level Executives

If you’re an up-and-comer or leader in finance, accounting, audit, financial services, capital markets, corporate strategy, corporate treasury, real estate – anything with a financial focus – you NEED a resume/CV that shines.

It’s the primary way to win job interviews, so you can get up at bat for the next big job.

But let me guess…you’ve been sending out your resume to prospective employers, recruiters, contacts in your network…anyone you think could help, but all you’re hearing are crickets.

Or recruiters are telling you the resume needs work…or that it doesn’t offer the qualifications they’re seeking (IF they give you feedback) …or they’re ghosting you after a first chat about an opportunity.

It’s because they don’t see that excellent match.

Other leaders are edging you out because their resumes and profiles are doing exactly what they’re intended for – they’re SHOWING the reader exactly how they match a particular opportunity.

How do I know this?

Because I’m an executive recruiter studying finance resumes every single day.

A Finance Resume for Optimal Positioning

The market for finance and accounting jobs, particularly the higher you climb, is competitive. Your resume and career marketing documents are just a piece of a job search strategy, but they set the tone.

An optimized finance resume/CV should do the following:

  • Tell the story of your career progression in a compelling, organized way that wins you interviews.
  • SHOW specifically how you match your ideal next opportunity with performance-based evidence.
  • Illustrate what differentiates you from your competition.
  • Detail your most relevant, impressive accomplishments.
  • Position you in a way that plays up your selling points and minimizes drawbacks/gaps/career missteps/special situations.
  • Lay out a roadmap for how you’ll discuss your most relevant experiences, accomplishments, and skills in an interview.
  • Invite thoughtful questions that will allow you to expand in more detail in the interview.

Her understanding of what recruiters look for in a resume was invaluable.

I have had the privilege of working with Laurie DeSalvo during my job search. Laurie provided invaluable feedback on my resume, helping highlight my strengths and achievements in a way that truly stood out. Her insights into the financial industry and her understanding of what recruiters look for in a resume was invaluable, and I was impressed by how she managed to capture the essence of my professional journey so effectively.

She took the time to understand my career goals and aspirations, and her insights into the roles that aligned with my skills and ambitions were spot-on. Her depth of knowledge in the finance sector and her connections within the industry made a significant impact on my job search strategy. Her empathetic and encouraging approach gave me the confidence to pursue opportunities that I might not have considered otherwise. I wholeheartedly recommend Laurie DeSalvo to anyone seeking guidance, support, and expertise in their career endeavors.
